Say what?

We need a QB to backup this year, but also potentially take over in 2020 (or possibly mid-2019). The draft is the way to go.

This is stupid. There's no FA QB's other than Drew Brees and Kirk Cousins worth going after. Draft one!

I could actually see this happening.

If you assume that, despite Caldwell's protests, Bortles' deal reflects an uncertainty the franchise has towards him for whatever reason, and the team believes last year was no fluke, then it makes sense to get a vet that could push him.

Let's face it, a guy like Bradford or Keenum could start and win for a good team, as they did for the Vikings this year.  Bridgewater started and won for the Vikings prior to his injury.  But for various reasons, all could be without a starting gig when the music stops playing.

They would have little choice but to be a backup, and any one of them would be a substantial upgrade over Henne.a
It makes even more sense if you assume the Jaguars don't like any of the 2nd-tier and below QBs in this draft.

Really disagree about Bradford and Keenum. Bradford has proven over and over and over that he is unreliable and injury prone. Throwing money at him would be a waste and Keenum is extremely overrated and I grade him below Bortles. Bridgewater is coming off a serious injury and was a complete unknown before he was hurt.
